Looking for Clifton Park Real Estate?
Here are some FAQ's:
A BETTER DEAL: A house is only worth what it is worth regardless of whether a real estate agent is involved or not. So, a home that is worth $100,000 that is offered by the homeowner is still worth $100,000 if it is offered by an agent. One difference is that a FSBO has that additional 6-7% negotiation room. For example: If a homeowner sells that $100,000 home for $98,000, they have made more money than if they had to pay a real estate agent $6k or $7k in a commission. AND, the buyer has saved $2k... instant equity!
NO COMMISSIONS: It has been said that the buyer does not pay the real estate commission. Well... using the previous example, who really paid the commission? Both the buyer and seller did. The buyer in the form of a higher sales price, and the seller in the form of a reduced equity check.
GET WHAT YOU WANT: You know what you want better than anyone else. And, you can see whatever you want when you want. Some agents show homes by whether or not it is listed with their company, not by whether the home suits the buyer's requirements. And, before you know it, you may be looking at homes that are more than what you want.
CUT OUT THE MIDDLEMAN: You're dealing with the source. The seller knows their house better than any real estate agent could. They can answer your questions about schools, shopping, and how much their utility bills are. They can tell you that the neighborhood has get-togethers and cook-outs, who the neighborhood baby sitter is, etc. AND, they don't have to call another agent who calls the seller, then calls the agent back, who then calls you.
